ABSTRACT

I want to send you a few of my drawings, but must not till Ruskin has seen them. You will not know all that is connected with every line of them, but you will know that there is very much. Look at the Chivery1 one, and fancy how all the little flowers clustering round the stem speak of union and support, which could not be known by the separate flowers, think how every line of beauty spoke of a love greater than any earthly one.
